Doctor Who Card Game Is an Action Packed Adventure for Three to Four Players INTRODUCTION Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans... the list of threats is endless and no place in the universe is ever truly safe from danger. However, there is one being who has made it his mission to defend the defenceless, help the helpless and save everyone he can: a mysterious stranger, a force of nature who has seen his own planet die, a madman in a box! The Doctor Who Card Game is an action packed adventure for three to four players. To win the game you will have to use your wits and courage to: • Defend the universe as the Doctor and his companions. • Send the Doctor’s enemies to conquer the places your competitors are trying to protect. • Save the universe! COMPONENTS Rule book Four sets of player pieces, each one consisting of five TARDIS counters and five Dalek counters One set of Game cards (one hundred and twenty seven in all) Four Starting Location cards One Game End card Thirty Time tokens 1 OVERVIEW In The Doctor Who Card Game you take on the role of the Doctor and his companions in defending locations across time and space from a variety of enemies AND you also play the role of the forces of evil by sending enemies to invade the locations belonging to other players. During the game players will take it in turns to perform actions, which will involve playing cards. These cards come in four types, which are: Defenders – the Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory, and River Song. Locations – you wish to defend your locations while attacking those of other players. Enemies – a variety of aliens and creatures intent on conquest. Support – allies, gadgets, and events that will help (or hinder) the Doctor. The number of actions you can perform in your turn varies depending on how many cards you are able to play. This will vary as you can retain cards from earlier turns in your reserve and you can buy extra cards with Time Points. What is most important to remember is that you can never have less than three cards in your hand. Once you have finished your actions you must pass on your remaining three cards to the player to your right. Play continues in this manner until the end of the game. During the course of the game you will create a display of cards in front of your position. The main part of your display will be made up of Location cards that you have played down. Other players can attack your locations with Enemy cards. Defender cards can either already be placed on locations or played to repel attacks. Behind your line of Location cards you can also keep up to two cards in reserve. Here is an example of what a display might look like during the game: Opponents’ Enemy Cards Defender Card At the end of the game you score points for locations that you have protected and locations that you have conquered. The player with the most points wins the game. 2 STARTING THE GAME Each player should choose a colour and take the matching set of Dalek and TARDIS counters. Find the four Starting Location cards and the Game End card. Shuffle the Starting Location cards and deal one to each player (if there are three players then place the last card to one side). All of the players reveal their card and place it in front of them. The player with the highest value Staring Location, as shown in the gold bar, becomes the first player. Shuffle the Game cards and deal out five cards to each player EXCEPT the person sitting to the right of the first player, who only receives two cards. Count out twenty Game cards, face-down, and place them in the centre of the table. Place the Game End card face-up on top of these cards, then the remaining Game cards on top to create a draw deck. During the course of the game players will need to discard cards. The discard pile should be created next to the draw deck. Place the Time Points by the side of the draw deck. You are now ready to begin playing the game! PLAYING THE GAME Play starts with the first player taking their turn. Once they have finished the next player, going clockwise around the table, takes their turn. Play continues in this manner until the end of the game. The game ends when either the Game End card has been revealed or a player has all five of their Dalek or TARDIS counters in play. When it is your turn you can perform as many actions as you want. However, at the end of your turn you MUST pass on three Game cards to the player to your right, leaving yourself with no cards in hand. Thus you can never have less than three cards in your hand. You then draw two cards from the draw deck. The player to your left then starts their turn. Pass Direction three of play cards (left) (right) 3 The actions that you can choose from are: • Play a Location card • Place one or more Defender cards on one of your Location cards • Place one or more Enemy cards against another player’s Location card • Play a Support card • Place cards in your Reserve • Buy cards with Time Points • Discard one or two cards in exchange for Time Points Each action is discrete and can be performed more than once during your turn. Normally you must complete one action before performing your next action, although some Support cards can be played during an action (which will be clear from the text on the card). Action - Play a Location card During the course of the game you will create a line of Location cards in front of your position. You already have one Starting Location card in front of you. When you play a Location card you place it next to one of your other Location cards. You then take a number of Time Points as indicated on the card. If the supply of Time Points is exhausted then you take the points required from other players, you choose who (and you could choose to take from more than one player). The other symbol on the Location card shows how many Victory Points it is worth at the end of the game. Time Points Victory Points Action – Play Defender cards There are four different types of Defender cards in the game; the Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory, and River Song. As an action you can place one or more Defender cards on one of your Location cards. However, you can never play two or more of the same type of Defender card on a Location card. 4 If you place the Defender card or cards on a Location card that is not being attacked then you place them face-down. Make sure the Location card is not completely covered. It is important that all players should be able to see the Victory Point value of the card. You can place Defender cards on a Location card that already has defenders on it, as long as you do not end up duplicating the same type of defender (you can always peek at your own Defender cards). Once placed you cannot withdraw Defender cards from a Location (with the exception of Rory, who will be explained in more detail later on). You can also play Defender cards on a Location that has a TARDIS counter on it. If you place the Defender card or cards on a Location that is subject to an enemy attack then you resolve the conflict immediately. Note that it is important that you declare all of the Defender cards you wish to play before revealing any Enemy cards. You will find the rules on how to resolve a conflict explained on pages 7 and 8. Action – Play Enemy cards As an action you can play one or more Enemy cards to attack one Location belonging to another player. All Enemy cards must be of the same type (Daleks are an example of an enemy type) or state on them that they can be combined with a different enemy type (e.g. Roboforms and the Master). If you place your cards against a Location that is not defended then you place them face- down. You then take one of your Dalek counters and place it on top of your cards to show that you control that attack. The cards should be placed so that it is clear which Location card they are attacking but not obscure the victory point value of the card. Example: Karen decides to attack one of Matt’s locations, 1940s London, with two Enemy cards, which are the Cybermen and Roboforms. This is a legal play as Roboforms can be played with any other type of Enemy card. After placing the cards face-down Karen places one of her Dalek counters on top. You can add Enemy cards to one of your attacks, as long as the card or cards you play can be legally played with the cards already in place (you can peek at your Enemy cards if you wish). The card or cards you add are placed face-down. Note that you cannot attack a Location that is already under attack from another player, nor can you join with another player’s attack. You cannot attack your own locations. Once placed you cannot withdraw Enemy cards from an attack. 5 If you place your Enemy cards against a Location that is defended by one or more Defender cards then you must resolve the conflict immediately (see pages 7 to 8).

  • DOCTOR WHO LOGOPOLIS Christopher H. Bidmead Based On
    DOCTOR WHO LOGOPOLIS Christopher H. Bidmead Based on the BBC television serial by Christopher H. Bidmead by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1. Events cast shadows before them, but the huger shadows creep over us unseen. When some great circumstance, hovering somewhere in the future, is a catastrophe of incalculable consequence, you may not see the signs in the small happenings that go before. The Doctor did, however - vaguely. While the Doctor paced back and forth in the TARDIS cloister room trying to make some sense of the tangle of troublesome thoughts that had followed him from Traken, in a completely different sector of the Universe, in a place called Earth, one such small foreshadowing was already beginning to unfold. It was a simple thing. A policeman leaned his bicycle against a police box, took a key from the breast pocket of his uniform jacket and unlocked the little telephone door to make a phone call. Police Constable Donald Seagrave was in a jovial mood. The sun was shining, the bicycle was performing perfectly since its overhaul last Saturday afternoon, and now that the water-main flooding in Burney Street was repaired he was on his way home for tea, if that was all right with the Super. It seemed to be a bad line. Seagrave could hear his Superintendent at the far end saying, 'Speak up . Who's that . .?', but there was this whirring noise, and then a sort of chuffing and groaning . The baffled constable looked into the telephone, and then banged it on his helmet to try to improve the connection.

    DOCTOR WHO SERIES 10 EPISODE 1 "A Star In Her Eye" By Steven Moffat SHOOTING SCRIPT 16/06/2016 (SHOOTING BLOCK 1) DW10: EP 1 "A Star In Her Eye" by Steven Moffat - SHOOTING SCRIPT - 16/06/16 1 INT. THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE - DAY 1 - 16.00 1 The quietest opening we’ve ever had. We’re in a reasonably untidy office. Dust and books. Obviously academic. A university lecturer’s office. We hold this stationary shot - there’s a pleasing symmetry. There’s a door on the left of the screen, and a slightly open one on the right - like the two doors on a weather clock. Through the slightly open door we can see another, smaller room. In between the doors, there’s a desk, facing across the screen. Two empty chairs. The one in front of the closed door, is a simple, wooden chair. Facing it across the desk is an elegant swivel chair. Distantly, a bell chiming. We hear the chatter of distant voices - young people, chatting and laughing. Under that, the drone of traffic. Ordinary and still, for as long as we dare. Then: Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! It’s like the squeaking wheel on a supermarket trolley - and it’s getting closer. Now the closed door opens, revealing: Nardole. Much as we last saw him in The Husbands Of River Song. He steps into the room (always a squeak on his left leg) revealing: In the doorway, Bill. Young, female, cheeky as hell. Nardole stands clear of the door, gestures towards the wooden chair.

Every now and then, I read comments from Whovians about how the programme is called: "Doctor Who" - and how you shouldn't write the title as: "Dr. Who". Also, how the central character is called: "The Doctor", and should not be referred to as: "Doctor Who" (or "Dr. Who" for that matter) But of course, the Truth never quite that simple As the Evidence below will show... * * * * * * * http://aetw.org/omega.html THE PROGRAMME Yes, the programme is titled: "Doctor Who", but from the very beginning – in fact from before the beginning, the title has also been written as: “DR WHO”.

  • Sociopathetic Abscess Or Yawning Chasm? the Absent Postcolonial Transition In
    Sociopathetic abscess or yawning chasm? The absent postcolonial transition in Doctor Who Lindy A Orthia The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract This paper explores discourses of colonialism, cosmopolitanism and postcolonialism in the long-running television series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who has frequently explored past colonial scenarios and has depicted cosmopolitan futures as multiracial and queer- positive, constructing a teleological model of human history. Yet postcolonial transition stages between the overthrow of colonialism and the instatement of cosmopolitan polities have received little attention within the program. This apparent ‘yawning chasm’ — this inability to acknowledge the material realities of an inequitable postcolonial world shaped by exploitative trade practices, diasporic trauma and racist discrimination — is whitewashed by the representation of past, present and future humanity as unchangingly diverse; literally fixed in happy demographic variety. Harmonious cosmopolitanism is thus presented as a non-negotiable fact of human inevitability, casting instances of racist oppression as unnatural blips. Under this construction, the postcolonial transition needs no explication, because to throw off colonialism’s chains is merely to revert to a more natural state of humanness, that is, cosmopolitanism. Only a few Doctor Who stories break with this model to deal with the ‘sociopathetic abscess’ that is real life postcolonial modernity. Key Words Doctor Who, cosmopolitanism, colonialism, postcolonialism, race, teleology, science fiction This is the submitted version of a paper that has been published with minor changes in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 45(2): 207-225. 1 1.

  • 7 Lamp Board Mod for the Addams Family and Doctor Who to Allow the Use of Colordmd SIGMA Displays
    7 Lamp Board Mod for The Addams Family and Doctor Who to allow the use of ColorDMD SIGMA Displays This modification will also upgrade the board from incondescent bulbs to LED. 1. Carefully remove the translite from the backbox and then lower the speaker panel to the position shown in picture1 to gain access to the 7 lamp board assembly. NOTE: This process is the same for both The Addams Family and Doctor Who. Picture1 ( The Addams Family 5768-12377-00 board shown ) 2. Disconnect the 8-pin DMD power cable and ribbon cable from DMD and also disconnect the 9-pin lamp power cable from 7 lamp board. NOTE: disconnect 13-pin lamp power cable for Doctor Who 7 lamp board. 3. Remove the four screws holding the 7 lamp board and remove board from the game as shown in picture2. Picture2 ( The Addams Family 5768-12377-00 board shown ) 4. Remove all seven of the lamp holders and all four of the nylon mounting feet as shown in picture3. Picture3 5. Now unsolder the 9-pin header connector from the board (13-pin header connector for Doctor Who). This does require some experience with soldering so be careful not to over heat the board and damage the solder pads, you'll need these later. Now your board should be completely stripped of all hardware except the seven diodes on the other side of the board you'll keep those as well. The board should now look like picture4. Picture4 6. Now you'll need some 26 awg stranded wire cut in 24” lengths, nine wires for The Addams Family or thirteen wires for Doctor Who.

  • Doctor Who's Feminine Mystique
    Doctor Who’s Feminine Mystique: Examining the Politics of Gender in Doctor Who By Alyssa Franke Professor Sarah Houser, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs Professor Kimberly Cowell-Meyers, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs University Honors in Political Science American University Spring 2014 Abstract In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan examined how fictional stories in women’s magazines helped craft a societal idea of femininity. Inspired by her work and the interplay between popular culture and gender norms, this paper examines the gender politics of Doctor Who and asks whether it subverts traditional gender stereotypes or whether it has a feminine mystique of its own. When Doctor Who returned to our TV screens in 2005, a new generation of women was given a new set of companions to look up to as role models and inspirations. Strong and clever, socially and sexually assertive, these women seemed to reject traditional stereotypical representations of femininity in favor of a new representation of femininity. But for all Doctor Who has done to subvert traditional gender stereotypes and provide a progressive representation of femininity, its story lines occasionally reproduce regressive discourses about the role of women that reinforce traditional gender stereotypes and ideologies about femininity. This paper explores how gender is represented and how norms are constructed through plot lines that punish and reward certain behaviors or choices by examining the narratives of the women Doctor Who’s titular protagonist interacts with. Ultimately, this paper finds that the show has in recent years promoted traits more in line with emphasized femininity, and that the narratives of the female companion’s have promoted and encouraged their return to domestic roles.

DOCTOR WHO AND THE CREATION OF A NON-GENDERED HERO ARCHETYPE Alessandra J. Pelusi 85 Pages December 2014 This thesis investigates the ways in which the television program Doctor Who forges a new, non-gendered, hero archetype from the amalgamation of its main characters. In order to demonstrate how this is achieved, I begin with reviewing some of the significant and relevant characters that contribute to this. I then examine the ways in which female and male characters are represented in Doctor Who, including who they are, their relationship with the Doctor, and what major narrative roles they play. I follow this with a discussion of the significance of the companion, including their status as equal to the Doctor. From there, I explore the ways in which the program utilizes existing archetypes by subverting them and disrupting the status quo.
